The show’s popularity, despite being off air for some time, was evident to see when the hundreds of fans rolled into to take to take part in the event and meet their favourite stars. Two young women from Germany made the trek to Leeton especially for the reunion. 

Myles Pollard (Nick Ryan), Bridie Carter (Tess McLeod), Lisa Chappell (Clare McLeod) and Aaron Jeffery (Alex Ryan) and Zoe Naylor (Regan) were all part of the reunion, taking to the stage to share their experiences of filming the television show, answering questions and, generally, having a laugh-a-minute. 

Leeton resident Sandra Nardi was instrumental in organising and getting the reunion to come to Leeton and she was overwhelmed by the response, with more than 720 people turning out for the two shows. 

“It was just incredible … they are such humble and down-to-earth people,” she said. 

“The amount of time they gave to everyone in the audience was just amazing.

“They were taking selfies, signing autographs. Nothing was too much for them.”

The group also donated $600 to the Leeton Community Christmas lunch through the sale of their fan cards and CDs on the day. 

Accommodation in Leeton was booked out over the weekend as fans made their way to town to see their favourite actors in the flesh. 

“It was just incredible … people came from all over to be part of it,” Miss Nardi said. 

“We had people from Rockhampton in Queensland, others come from South Australia, Victoria and just all over. 

“It was like everyone at the shows was a big family. It was funny too. Everyone had such a great time.”

Miss Nardi was personally thanked by the cast for helping make the reunion happen as they too enjoy the chance to catch up.
